Bates Scholar-Athletes, Academic Honor Roll honorees released

Apr 06, 2011

LEWISTON, Maine -- In recognition of National Student-Athlete Day, the Bates College Department of Athletics salutes the academic accomplishments of some of Bates' 600-plus varsity athletes. Director of Athletics Kevin McHugh this week is distributing certificates to the top 25 percent of this year's student-athletes, in terms of their cumulative grade point average.

Those honored as "Scholar-Athletes" represent the top 10% of Bates varsity athletes in terms of their cumulative GPA through the Fall 2010 semester. This year, that translates to 60 student-athletes carrying a 3.70 GPA or better (up from 3.68 last year, the inaugural year of this program).

Those honored for maintaining a GPA in the top 25% of all varsity athletes are named to the "Academic Honor Roll," which this year translates to 87 student-athletes whose GPA is between 3.47 and 3.69 (up from 3.46 to 3.67 in 2010).
